To speak about the key role NATO is playing in the Ukraine crisis, Democracy Now! speaks with Ludo De Brabander, spokesperson of the peace organization Vrede vzw in Belgium, where NATO is headquartered. De Brabander says NATO has outlived its purpose and touches on how activists in NATO countries like Belgium are pushing against narratives in the media that war with Russia is necessary.
